Why not!!??!! I still have a few old van magazines that are a hoot to read. My vote is for a "cruizer" stealth van. Black paint, heavy tint, ricer wing, lowered with wide tires all around. Sounds like you want a "party" stoner van. Buddy of mine had one that had Futon couches on eachside that folded up and the mattresses could lay flat on the floor. Black lights and a stobe that hung out the back with the mirror ball. Had a keg tap built into the rear door and bean bag chairs under the futons. Big old "Keep on Truckin" visor..Craig powerplay stereo..Cal Custom goofy foot gas pedal...Tancreedi graphic equalizer with a killer 100 watts of Doobie Brothers blasting power. 6 stoned girls painted a sunset mural on the side and a pro painter touched it up and made it look awesome! Kind like Peter Max meets Piccaso look to it. Interior had button tufted DENIM!!! complete with pockets and rivits and such. Thrush sidepipes and Keystone mags with Dunlop tires set up the outside look. Grant blue metalflake steering wheel and custom leather saddlebags with cup holders and ashtrays over the tranny hump still makes me cringe. Bruce "Disco Rules!!" from Texas
Beer tapper You needed the 100W equalizer to keep the Doobs sounding good after the eight-track tape started getting cruddy! All they did was paint the mural??? oh, owww. Ooooh! Ooooh! Oh-oh-oh! Keystone Classics???? Hmmmmm, denim and leather.......hmmmmm.....and all they did was paint the mural?
Don't forget the classic sticker: "Don't come a-Knockin' when this van's a-Rockin'" I gotta find my old HOT ROD magazines with the vans! Next thing you know, Taylor will be wearing bell-bottom jeans, a head band, and listen to the Bee Gees!
One way to make a definite enemy is to pick up your girlfriend in that van. Her dad knows what "party vans" are all about. Whatabout make a true homage to cheesey designs and make an "Eleanor Econoline"
i've seen it both ways. hah Dan you must be really old or i was into vans and cars at an early age, actually it was probably the latter, my granddaddy was a car salesman
Actually, Dan, I remembered it the same way......... I was just was wise enough to not say anything so you (or Fritz) could accuse me of being old. Nobody else around here is old enough to know better
That's right, Bubba! No matter how old, gray and decrepit I get, you'll always be older than me! And Dan will be even older than that!
